“We’re at a point now where robots can move more sensually than Taylor Swift.”
What a weird fucking tagline on an article that insinuates a robotic dystopian future.
Although there are some weird horny undertones, so I guess it checks out. Still, weird article all around
Not supporting iRobot vacuums isn’t necessarily a bad thing, considering that at the price iRobot is asking for their vacuums, a lot of the other companies in the space offer much nicer models with more features.
I can guarantee you it wasn’t the engineers that wanted it this way
How is the dog shitting in the house the Roomba’s fault?
It’s definitely defense. The amount of money spent and the number of people involved is insane, it guarantees incompetence at best, corruption at worst.
Alternative alternative perspective: imagine being lifted up, against your will, and manipulated until you can see nothing but a vast blackness dotted with occasional white pinpricks and glimmers. You’re put back down, but now you have the craziest story to tell Gary at the feeding trough in the morning.
Sorry, but talking about how dental care sucks in other places too, in a post about dental services being rendered in exchange for statutory rape, sure does sound like making excuses.
Ones in fantasy novels
That’s nice, good job muddying the waters.
In how many of those other countries are minors tempted to perform sexual acts on government officials to receive said shitty dental care?
Tell that to the couple dozen propagations I have currently living in various sized vessels of water
The kind of “AI advancement” that requires stripping away privacy rights is definitely done by technofascists.
Ah yes, correctly highlighting the megalopolises of Yuma and Mexicali, and excluding backwaters such as Los Angeles and Miami
It’s hard to rewrite the past if someone’s keeping receipts
That’s not true, there’s definitely ways to render the skin to the point where it’s all crisp, no slime, without burning it. It’s hard to do when oven roasting but possible, but it’s pretty easy to do when pan-searing.
Not really. Case in point - the Moon. It’s absolutely massive, like several orders of magnitude larger than any satellite we’ve ever launched, and when it happens to line up just right between the Earth and the Sun, the umbra is only like 150km wide.
If it had been anyone else, they’d have been named a grave threat to national security and it’s pretty likely they’d never be seen or heard from again.
If I’ve replied to you once why start with this:
Because your one reply to me claimed that I was saying a bunch of stuff that I never said in my one comment?
Like, it should be obvious what’s going on here
My account is over two years old with thousands of other comments. My writing style is vastly different than anyone else’s in this thread. I’m not creating new accounts to avoid blocks. I’m not out to get you. I’m flattered, but it’s not that serious.
My guy, you wanna stop putting words in my mouth and have an honest, productive discussion, I’m all for it. Otherwise, don’t bother replying.
Also, pay attention to usernames when replying. That was my first comment in this chain, but I have a feeling you thought you were replying to someone you’d already been talking to.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics
What you’re talking about, with using IVF to reduce the chances of genetic conditions, is called prenatal screening. And while it relies on genomics, and even borrows some concepts from Eugenics, it is not Eugenics, at least as far as most people understand and use that term. Eugenics is widely understood to be the pseudo-scientific shield fascists frequently hide behind to justify bigotry, forced sterilization, genocide, and other atrocities. You may think this is just a semantic argument over an umbrella term that can cover anything to do with improving the human genome, but modern geneticists are very careful to disassociate anything they do with the term “Eugenics”, due to the authoritarian implications it carries.
Mmm, that reminds me, I haven’t had lunch yet oink oink
